Product Description
An engaging, thorough, and much-needed explanation of the working vagina, Vaginas is a book of accessible facts written by down-to-earth authors whose only agenda is female education. The authors (the mother is an ob/gyn, the daughter a writer) avoid the flowery language and feminist agenda of other books on the subject. They take readers from the mood swings of puberty to the hot flashes of menopause with warmth, humor, and candor. Subjects include the lowdown on hymens, a word on waxing, tips on retrieving lost items, heavy periods, working out the vagina, significant problems (STDs, ectopic pregnancies, fibroids, yeast infections, herpes), ways to keep an aging body performing, and the fun stuff — sex.

 Poor book, nothing relevant or insightful. April 8, 2006

If grown up women do not know their own genitalia, then there is most definitely something wrong. How can you have a book about female reproductive organs named vaginas when referring to the vulva? It is inaccurate for the authors to persist calling the vulva a vagina. Second, what good is a book of vulvas if the authors do not show any comparative information about the female reproductive organs?
If female genitals are so great, then why do they fail to show them? You would think that a book dedicated to female genitalia would be complied with actual depictions of vulvas of all shapes and sizes to visually see the differences. Otherwise, this book is nothing more then a bunch of articles pasted together.
There are countless books dedicated to the male reproductive organ and they show it all with pride. You come back to female reproductive organs and they hide it all with shame. Why do they not talk about the appearance of the vulva and what men like and dislike. The size of the vagina and the preference of men.
We hear countless opinions of what women prefer, by when men give an expressed opinion it is censored and omitted from books. This is what makes books on female reproductive organ nothing of value.
Once you strip away from feminists fallacies, then maybe you will get a book about female reproductive organs, which is insightful for both genders to explore and read. Currently the only place where I have seen this is the Vagina Institute, but that is a completely different story.

This is a very useful sourcebook for all things vaginal. Consult this book first, then go see your gyno-guy.

Before reading this book, I thought I knew all there was to know about the female sex organ. I was so, so wrong. This book opened my eyes to quite a bit, but the most important thing I learned was that the G-Spot really doesn't exist, medically. This ceased my quest for the Holy Grail of female sexual satisfaction and turned my attention to other areas of my wife's anatomy. Needless to say, we're both extremely pleased. Thanks for writing this book and making the mysterious very, very real.

I loved this book! I found both the comic element and the straight-forward style of the book endearing. As I continued to read, I was amazed by how much I was learning (and at my age). This is a great book for any women of all ages!
